My son tested positive for COVID 19, but my report came back negative. I also had a fever, which has now subsided, though I am still experiencing some weakness. Should I be taking any medicine in this situation?

A negative test and recovered fever suggest you have likely been clear of active infection. No specific COVID 19 medicine is needed. Focus on rest, hydration, and balanced meals. If fatigue persists beyond 1 to 2 weeks, please get a Complete Blood Count to rule out anaemia. Contact your doctor if new symptoms develop.
